Bacon Bleu Cheese Green Beans
Serves 4 to 6
½ pound bacon, cut into small pieces
1 – 2 Tablespoons reserved bacon drippings
1 pound fresh green beans, washed and trimmed
¼ to ½ cup water
1/4 cup Bleu cheese (or Feta)
Salt & Pepper to taste
Fry bacon until crisp in large skillet or wide pot. Drain bacon on paper towels and set aside.
Leave a Tablespoon or two of bacon drippings in skillet and add ¼ cup water.
Turn heat to medium and add green beans. Cover and simmer until beans are crisp-tender, adding more water if necessary to keep beans from sticking to skillet.
Sprinkle cheese on top of tender beans … turn heat off and cover until cheese melts. Stir melted cheese into beans and serve.
